21st Century Supply Chains (SC21) is the single, coordinated industrial change programme developed by and for the UK aviation, space and defence industry. SC21 is probably the most important development programme that suppliers in these sectors have ever been asked to participate in. This industry-led campaign is aimed at transforming the way UK does business. Not only does it accelerate competitiveness but it acts to cement those vital relationships between customer and supplier essential for hassle-free business.

“Since 19 founder companies signed up to the launch of the 21st Century Supply Chains (SC21) programme at Farnborough International Airshow in July 2006, its rise in popularity has been nothing short of meteoric with over 600 signatories on record as of June 2010” writes Dave Tudor in the September 2010 edition of Production Engineering Solutions.
